However much I hate this cold, freezing weather, it does encourage me to put extra bird food out, and I do get alot of nice feathered visitors to the garden.

At the moment, there is a thrush outside, which I don't usually get. Earlier today we also had a magpie, another not so frequent visitor. I've also seen blackbirds, various blue and great/coal ****, robins, collered doves, and squirrels. I haven't seen too many starlings this year, and in the past (during the really heavy snow) have had woodpeckers (Very exciting) in the garden.

Birds are one of my great joys. Thrushes are my absolute favourite and we are lucky enough to have mistle thrush here (lots of apple trees covered in mistletoe) as well as the occasional fieldfare. We also have nesting greater spotted woodpeckers and little owls in our garden, and at the moment 3 jays raiding our bird feeders.

We have starlings in murmuration at the top of the road every night. People come to film them and it's a great sight. Downside for us is that they raid our chickens' feed hoppers and it's costing us a flipping fortune!

Love the way the coal t its got edited there. They are so cute though aren't they?

We would be thrilled by an owl as the DCs are mad for them at the moment and there is a bit of an owl-related craft frenzy in our house.

We used to live in Hove and enjoyed the starlings whirling around the West Pier - but I think that it has totally disintegrated now, so suppose they have gone. Sad, it was very beautiful and atmospheric
